Description

Responding imaginatively to poems is a fantastic inspiration to begin creating art. We will reflect on the evocative poem, 'My Brain' written by Annabel Laurance, (aged 10!) and using this inspiration; do some imaginative sketching and make a storyboard. We will then prepare our animation setup with a cardboard box 'rostrum' and shapes cut out from paper. Using our phones and tablets, we will capture each frame of the animation with the help of the tutors. At the end, we will export our finished videos and invite our adults to join us in watching them on the big screen. Young Artists will also learn more about the 12 Principles of Animation, and use the first principle as a warm up, with the right level of fun, freedom and technical challenge.

Please note: A fully charged smartphone or tablet with the Stop Motion Studio app installed (free for iOS and Android) is required for this class.
